... after finding each other again nearly fifty years later.
You were there
and not quite here
in my dreams
and in my heart
out of reach
and out of focus
as we hid
within our souls
aware of love
afraid to trust
when the years
all fell away
but love brought
us together
we found an us
within a stare
You were there
just not quite here
as we breathed
each other in
finding home
inside a cuddle
in the flowing
energy
hidden hurts
to be forgotten
egos put aside
I hold your heart
in both my hands
as you are also
holding mine
both awake and
brought together
by the universe
with love
no more alone
nor out of focus
you were there
and now you're here

Wonderful story in poetry, my friend. I so feel the emotion here because very deeply, hidden with in my heart there is still the shadow of a love that I once felt for a girl that is now an old woman that I haven't seen in fifty-eight years. Lost love found. How wonderful!
